Hi everyone! So i was in the supermarket and i saw some 'pink custard' which instantly reminded me of old school dinners! I've been sat for hours thinking and looking online for old puddings we used to have like 'cornflake tart'. Does anybody remember the 'creamy white sauce' think it was poured over chocolte cakes or a big cookie. There was also the mint sauce (or custard) which was poured over chocolate cakes and obviously the pink custard. I was in primary shool in the early 1990's so not sure if every decade was the same! Would be interesting to hear some of the old meals and treats you used to have! Thanks for reading :D

    i left in 76 but in 73 our school turned to canteen style and it was excellant 

    ther was salad everyday ,with either egg or any of the main to go with it 

    two choices of main and two choices of pudd ,

    my fav was sausgae pie with mini roast potatoes and veg and gravy 

    my fav pudd was choc sponge and custard , and bakewell tart and custard . 

    we were never fat. and never hungry when we go t home always waited for tea 

    we brought mags at lunch time becasuse there was no room for sweets .

      Wow that sounds good! You can remember alot more than me haha. I just have vague visions on the odd dessert! I remember we had breaded chicken drummers and veg. We always had plenty of veg. And the puddings were always so delicious! I actually enjoyed my secondary school dinners until the Jamie Oliver law came into practice and i started having packed lunch from then on, as the food was terrible from then on.
